"This is an historical novel written as if it were a pulp action book. Fun to read, and it makes you wonder about the sanity of our ancestors and whether the Crusades have ever truly ended, or if we're just embarking on a new one today. "
— Jesse (4 out of 5 stars)

" Honestly hard to read. Too much like a history book. "

" I barely made it through this book. The writing style was so over the top that at times I thought it was a joke and at other times it was just plain difficult to understand. There were also passages I found some what offensive. "

" I LONGED to read this book, and have tried several times, but cannot, cannot get past the first section. "
— Serafina, 9/29/2010 -
" I liked this book for its pious Christian reading of a conflicted subject. The Christian ascend gloriously to their reward and the infidels fall screeching into the pit. :D "
